This small fig tree had just one lonely fig… and it was delicious. But I knew if I wanted more, I had to prune it the right way. By cutting back just above the nodes and leaving one set of leaves for photosynthesis, the plant pushed energy into new growth. 🌱
Fast forward → this simple pruning method turned my figs into a tree FULL of fruit. 🍇
If you’re growing figs in pots or in the ground, this trick will help you get more harvest every season.

Would YOU prune your fruit tree this hard?

Figs 🖤
What a handsome man you are!!
Yep and even harder for rose bushes
Can you please do a video on grapes and blueberries? I'm not sure if I'm pruning correctly
My beautiful figs are stunted by the application of horse manure that was the product of hay that was sprayed with Grazon herbicide. The stuff remains active in the soil for five years.
fig that smell in a pot???
great for constipation
He’s not teaching you anything except how to butcher a tree
🌳 if you want to grow more figs, you put the tree in the ground and you give it fertilizer and water and if you want more than that tree you get cuttings from it and plant them in the ground and duplicate the tree by multiple different techniques
sexy
This black fig we call Wild fig here in Montenegro . We got lot of figs in Montenegro – try to dry figs and you got Super food for winter .
When? If i find a ripe fig not much is gonna happen due to fall coming
I pruned it pretty hard in spring and this year, I finally get some big ripe fruits (as it looks like). all the years before, I got a massive amount of unripe Figs.
The lazy plant/tree to bear fruit
I want the DELICHESSSAA
Dont prune it, just plant in the ground and itll grow like a rocket.
This AI crap is getting out of hand.
Figs are full of dead fruit vasps. Yummy.
Jesus would be absolutely livid
How do you keep fig wasps from laying eggs in them?
There’s nothing like a fresh ripe fig. Just delicious.
I'm on the equator for half the year and had started a garden. My local nurseries have foliage only fig varieties? No fruit. Is it a pollination issue, or are they genuinely foliage only? I'm thinking about importing one and a specialized Florida peach which can cope with the intense heat.
I didn't know they can be eaten that way. Here in Colombia we cut them unripe and cook them with sugar cane to make some sort of a preserve/sweet that goes fantastic with fresh cheese.
